Excerpt from Journal of Prince of Wales’s Fort by Chief Factor Joseph Isbister
 
Wind of this day at S. S.E. & SE with strong gales of rain.   More goods onboard the ship to the number of 12 casks (since the ships arrival our time has been so closely applied to the unloading & loading her that we have not taken any time to do our writings.)  John Peterson having come from the north … in a long boat. I sent back to that place this morning to take care of the powder & geese.
